Rails - Mar 2006 - Sending post request with post_form

Basically I have a controller with this:

@lang = params[''lang''] || ''en''
@errors = request.raw_post
@feed_stats = 
Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse("http://www.google.com/tbproxy/spell?lang="
+ @lang), @errors)
render :text => @feed_stats

However whenever I run this I get an error message:
undefined method `post_form'' for Net::HTTP:Class

I''ve included
require ''net/http''
require ''uri''
in my enviroment.rb

can anyone help?

post_form is in ruby 1.8.4 and not in 1.8.2 So to get that method you  
need to upgrade your ruby install. This hjas come up a few times  
because the docs got cross pollenated to look like post_form is in  
1.8.2 but it is not.
